I am very pleased to announce that my performance photograph  “Unmask Opera,” 3D printed sculpture,” Gold Girl,” and ” Phoenix Crown” are exhibiting at Ottawa Art Gallery. For more about this exhibition, please visit here

Through the Ground Glass¹ is a dialogue between the work of historical Ottawa photographer William James Topley and six contemporary artists: Lori Blondeau, Chun Hua Catherine Dong, Anique Jordan, Neeko Paluzzi, Adrian Stimson and Geneviève Thauvette. These artists engage with image manipulation, hauntology, costumes and theatricality to subvert narratives and reclaim power through portraiture.

Topley’s use of the composite technique (akin to cut-and-paste collage) demonstrates photography’s ability to craft powerful narratives. Similarly, the contemporary artists in this exhibition harness the principle of this technique to resist, reconstruct and critique, in order to catalyze new realities.
